To Be OFFERED AT AUCTION WITHOUT RESERVE at RM Sothebys' Monterey event, 15 - 18 August 2024. rnSold | $235,200 USD rnrnAn authentic, original, and well-known examplernOlder restoration by the highly regarded craftsman Bud HicksrnAttractively presented throughoutrnOne of the best-driving Full Classic models; an excellent summer tour automobilern rnrnChrysler historian Joe Morgan has traced and documented the known ownership histories of the surviving original 1931 CG Imperial Dual-Cowl Phaetons, examples of which are among the most desirable and best-engineered Full Classics. He notes that the car offered here, serial number *number in the description*, was acquired during the early 1950s by Joe Fisher of Media, Pennsylvania, an early enthusiast and connoisseur of Classic Era Imperials, who performed the original restoration.rnrnMr. Fisher retained the car until his death in 1982, at which point it was sold to the well-known Canadian collector, Terry Radey. In Mr. Radey's hands, a fresh restoration was undertaken by the late Bud Hicks of Marshall, Michigan. For decades Mr. Hicks was considered one of the Midwest's foremost professional restorers, winning numerous honors in both CCCA and national concours competition worldwide. In a 2017 telephone conversation with RM Sotheby's Research and Editorial team, Mr. Hicks recounted that the Chrysler as-received was a solid, complete older restoration, with good body wood and strong, largely rust-free original sheet metal, none of which had to be replaced in the course of the fresh body-off, ground-up restoration. The car was finished in Hicks Yellow, the unusual and attractive hue regularly used on the craftsman's personal cars, with an interior in rich Forest Green leather. At its completion the restoration was awarded a Classic Car Club of America National First Prize. Mr. Hicks considered the Chrysler one of the finest restorations that he completed in his long career.rnrnThat the car was so well-done is spoken for by the fact that its finishes remain largely well-preserved to this day, mellowed from occasional use but still highly attractive. Mr. Morgan thought well enough of it that he eventually purchased it for his own personal collection, and he enjoyed it enough that he would own it twice over the intervening years! After over a decade in another private collection, it joined the present owner's wonderful stable in the Pacific Northwest in the early 21st Century, and has enjoyed good care since.rnrnA beautiful example of what is arguably one of the most beautifully proportioned and sweet-running of all Full Classics, this Chrysler is due for a fresh round of show appearances or, given the model's famous drivability, enjoyment on CARavans and tours. It is a lasting tribute to superb engineering and enduring quality, both in its design and its restoration.To view this car and others currently consigned to this auction, please visit the RM Sotheby's website.

Adderley CollectionrnAn original dual-cowl phaeton, one of the most beautiful Classic Imperials rnFormerly owned by John McMullen and the Andrews CollectionrnWell-maintained older concours award-winning restorationrnFeatured in Dennis Adler's Speed & Luxury: The Great Carsrn rnrnAmong the most desirable body styles on the beautifully engineered Chrysler CG Imperial chassis of 1931 is the dual-cowl phaeton, a design so striking that it, in part, served as inspiration for the Classic Car Club of America's logo. rnrnThe car offered here, an original example of this design, was discovered by the noted Imperial specialist and historian Joe Morgan in the early 1980s in Rhinelander, Wisconsin, where it had been stored for many years. In 2015, Mr. Morgan noted that the car had been delivered in Pittsburgh on 13 January 1931, equipped with the very desirable 3.82:1 gears, and that it remained a very solid and complete example that was an ideal basis for restoration. Its new owner spent nearly four years on the car's restoration, including a very slightly lowered top to improve its lines, after which it proved quite successful in competition with both the Antique Automobile Club of America, winning its Senior First Prize and the 1993 James Melton Memorial Cup, and the CCCA, winning its Primary and Senior First Prizes with two perfect 100-point scores.rnrnIn 1994 Mr. Morgan sold the Imperial to the great enthusiast John McMullen of Lapeer, Michigan, who exhibited the Chrysler at that year's Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, winning First in Class-an honor that it soon repeated at the Meadow Brook Concours d'Elegance and Willistead Classic Concours d'Elegance. In Mr. McMullen's ownership the car was also featured in Dennis Adler's well-known book, Speed & Luxury: The Great Cars, and in the August 1997 issue of Car Collector magazine.rnrnAfter spending over a decade as a centerpiece of the McMullen Collection, in 2007 the car was sold to another noted connoisseur of Full Classics, Paul Andrews Jr. of Texas, then from him to Donald Bernstein of Pennsylvania. In early 2015 it was added to the Adderley Collection and has since been proudly exhibited in its hallowed halls. The restoration exhibits some age to its finishes but overall is still very handsome, with an evident quality of workmanship and attention to detail visible throughout, reflective of Mr. Morgan's work. It should be noted that the car has also been refitted with its original serial number tag, discovered in its history file.rnrnThe CG Imperial Dual-Cowl Phaeton is one of the greatest Full Classics, both to admire and to drive, and this example is in the first rank of the rarefied survivors.rnTo view this car and others currently consigned to this auction, please visit the RM Sotheby's website.
